The Story Behind Cinomadist: A Smarter Urban Travel Backpack

Introduction

Imagine one backpack that handles your Monday commute and your Saturday getaway. That was our goal when we set out to design the Cinomadist Backpack. Launched on Kickstarter in mid-2024, it’s now the go-to expandable travel bag for city professionals and weekend travelers alike.

1. Why We Built Cinomadist

We saw two needs that clashed: a slim, professional bag for weekday meetings, and a roomier pack for weekend trips. Most bags only solve one problem. So we asked:

• Can it expand from 19 L to 32 L?

• Can it stay sleek, sturdy, and light?

  

Our answer: yes. We aimed for a clean exterior, smart interior, and easy expandability—all without adding bulk.

2. Key Features & Simple Design

Expandable Capacity

• 19 L → 32 L in seconds with heavy-duty zippers.

• No extra bag needed when plans change.

Smarter Organization

• 14+ pockets laid out in a 5-layer system.

• Dedicated slots for laptop, tablet, RFID cards, cables, travel docs, even umbrella or water bottle.

• 180° suitcase-style opening—lay it flat and grab what you need instantly.

Rugged Materials

• 1800D waterproof polyester stands up to rain and rough use.

• YKK zippers for smooth, reliable operation.

• Built-in RFID-blocking pocket, AirTag slot, reflective strips and mesh organizers add safety and convenience.

Comfort-First Ergonomics

• 3D padded back panel plus breathable shoulder straps reduce strain by up to 67%.

• Carry it three ways: backpack, shoulder bag, or briefcase style.

• Hidden luggage strap slips over your rolling suitcase handle.

3. Crowdfunding Success&Rave Reviews

On Kickstarter, 605 backers pledged HK$530,441—1,343% of our HK$39,500 goal (≈ US$ 68K). That early confidence proved there was real demand for a quality, urban travel backpack that adapts on the fly.

The Cinomadist Backpack quickly won the trust of over 600 backers on Kickstarter—and the feedback speaks for itself.
